More liberal fun with language

A government "bailout" of newspapers? Holy crap! Have these people completely taken leave of their senses?

"[I] can't imagine anything more dangerous than a society in which the news industry has more or less collapsed."

I can. It would be a society in which the government controlled the news media. Our founding fathers thought so, too. They included a small codicil in the Constitution addressing this very situation: the First Amendment.

I can't decide whether to laugh at these folks or weep for my country.
